Subject: HHMI Newsgroup Update
From: Eddie Chumney
Dear Mishpochah (family):
EDDIE NOW IN FULL-TIME MINISTRY
I would like to thank ALL of our newsgroup members for your
PATIENCE during 2002 as I made the transition from working for a
Fortune 500 company as a 17 year computer professional to FULL-TIME
ministry. The transition has now been completed. Beginning in April
2002 to November 2002, I worked PART-TIME to help my company find a
replacement for my former job and to help them make a smoother
transition for the new employee. At the end of November 2002, my
part-time position to help the company make the transtion was
finished.
Starting the end of November 2002, I entered into FULL-TIME
ministry.
NEW ZEALAND / AUSTRALIA TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Full-time ministry began with a TWO-MONTH trip to New Zealand and
Australia so that the "ends of the earth" can embrace the 'Hebraic
roots of Christianity'. In BOTH New Zealand and Australia, the
meetings were ABOVE my greatest expectations. I was in New Zealand
and Australia from Nov 25-Jan 24.
The following is a MANAGEMENT SUMMARY of the trip.
I was in New Zealand from Nov 25 to Dec 12.
During that time, I had meetings in Auckland from Nov 25 - Nov 28.
From there, we drove 2 hours south and had a weekend meeting from
November 29-December 1 in Tauranga at Bethlehem College.
On December 2, it was on the road again as we had an evening house
meeting in Napier.
From Napier, we travelled to Palmerston North and held meetings on
December 3-4 at the Westend School Hall.
Then it was 'on the road again' as we travelled to the capital of
New Zealand, Wellington, for meetings on December 5-6 at the Kelson
Community Centre.
Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Palmerston North and Wellington covered
the North Island.
Next, it was a plane trip to Christchurch, where I spoke on
December 7-8 at a Messianic Israelite congregation.
Then, another plane trip to Dunedin where meetings were held on
December 10-11 at the Dunedin North Intermediate School.
Christchurch and Dunedin covered the South Island of New Zealand.
In all, we had meetings in 7 different cities covering almost 3
weeks. We spoke to about 400-500 people.
From these meetings, the people in New Zealand were encouraged to
embrace their Hebraic heritage in Messiah and new fellowship groups
were formed.
BACK IN NEW ZEALAND FOR FEAST OF TRUMPETS 2003
I plan on returning to New Zealand from Sept 26-28, 2003 (Yom Teruah /
Rosh HaShanah / Feast of Trumpets) weekend for a Yom Teruah
celebration in Tauranga. Buses will be provided from various cities
in New Zealand to attend this event. In previous year's, there were
as many as 500 people attend a 'Feast of Tabernacles' celebration so
we are expecting at least this many people for Yom Teruah (Sept
26-28, 2003). If you are interested in attending this event (it is
only a 3 hour plan ride from the east coast of Australia), please
send an e-mail to Willem Nieuwhof at: (wn@araunah.co.nz).
A TRIP TO THE SAMOAN ISLANDS PLANNED FOR AUGUST 2003
While in New Zealand, I was able to meet a family from the Samoan
Islands who are presently living in New Zealand. One member of this
family hosted a home meeting in Auckland in late January after I
returned back to New Zealand from Australia. Another member of the
family attends the Messianic Israelite congregation in Christchurch
and was a former Pastor and seminary student. He has asked me to
share the Hebraic roots of Christianity to people in the Samoan
Islands in last two weeks of August, 2003. He will be working on the
detailed plans as the year goes forward. He would like to move back
to the Samoan Islands and disciple the people in Samoa after the
planned meetings in August 2003.

Eddie was unaware at this point that just three days prior the roads
were closed as Sydney was in the grip of firestorms. The very place
that Eddie was due to hold a weekend teaching had the fires right up
to the property front fence, Yahweh's protection was obvious to all
who attended this weekend as the buildings were untouched by fire but
everything around them was burnt black.

brought.

the house of Jacob.

Eddie sharing his message at the house of a leading Messianic
itinerate ministry in Australia. This night was held in the

with the Hebraic Roots of our faith in light of the end of days.

Queensland where he taught three meetings which were very well
received by all. Over 125 people attended three different meetings.
18th January- Eddie and his Australian host traveled to New Zealand to
meet up with the host of his New Zealand tour, what followed was a
wonderful few days of reflecting on the amazing time that we were all
privileged to have a part in. Relationships were established so that
Australia and New Zealand can work together in teaching the Hebraic
roots of Christianity to people in their own country.
I would like to give thanks to the Elohim of Israel, Yahweh for all
that has happened in Australia this last six weeks, I would also like
to thank the many wonderful people who played a part in the
organization and effort that was required to make sure such an
important end time message of the Kingdom was brought to this Nation,
I appreciate each one of you and thank you for all your help and
support over these last weeks.
Some information on the Australia tour:
We drove over 3000 Kilometers by road
Eddie taught in over 25 meetings
Many individuals who thought they were alone were linked up with other
likeminded believers.
There was reconciliation between people and congregation splits were
healed.
New groups were formed to study Torah.
Two Church congregations were convicted to study the Scriptures from a
Hebraic perspective and make the necessary changes to the life of
their Church.
There will be designated venues to celebrate the Feasts in Australia
that will continue the linking up of likeminded believers in this
Nation.
The Australian host, like the New Zealand host will now travel around
the areas Eddie taught while in the country with a view to follow up
each group of believers that have embraced the new teaching.
There are planed meetings for Australia in September to include three
weekend venues, one in Sydney/ Canberra area, and one in Ballana area
one in Queensland area.
Eddie you have been a blessing to this nation!
Thank you for bringing revival to the shores of Australia. Praise
Yahweh!

LIMITED HHMI NEWSGROUP UNTIL APRIL 2003
While I am travelling to Canada and South Africa, the last two
weeks of February and March, I need to do LOTS of reading for the
reseach of my 'Joseph' book.
Therefore because of my very busy travel schedule and need to finish
research to write the 'Joseph' book, there will be LIMITED newsgroup
postings during February and won't resume again on a regular weekly
basis until April, 2003.
If you would like to host a weekend meeting in your area, please
send me a reply e-mail note to schedule the meeting.
HHMI TAPE MINISTRY TO BEGIN
Sometime in the next couple of months, the HHMI tape ministry
will be launched. Currently, the ministry has about 20 various
messages that were taped over the years that will be made available
to the general public. These 20+ tapes do NOT include include a 10
tape series on the Biblical Festivals which also will be available.
Tapes of these messages are currently being made.
Later in the year, video's will also be available of selected
messages.
With so many projects to complete and so much work to do to help
believers to understand the need to embrace the Hebraic roots of
Christianity, it is no wonder that YHVH impressed upon my heart that
MORE workers were needed for HIS vineyard to spread this end-time
message and that I needed to be in FULL-TIME ministry to accomplish
His Will for my life and ministry.
Thank you for your love and support of HHMI. If YHVH is laying
upon your heart to be a monthly partner of HHMI, please make your
donations out to: (Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l) and send to:
Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l
PO Box 81
Strasburg, OH 44680
HHMI is good soil if YHVH is impressing upon your heart to
support a Hebraic roots end-time ministry to the body of Messiah.
May YHVH continue to bless you in your studies!
